THE latest teaser trailer in one of the most anticipated films of the year is packed with new footage - especially when it comes to catching another fleeting glimpse of Ben Affleck's Batman.

It's the first time that a teaser for the film has seemed really engaging - getting both tone and style just right.

The stunning new trailer begins with the formidable Viola Davis, and quickly dissolves into a rainbow coloured Warner Bros logo, which tilts in time with that infamous Joker laugh.

Splicing images of Davis with Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, Will Smith's Deadshot and Jai Courtenay's Captain Boomerang, the trailer moves neatly in time with the thundering base of Grace's hit song, You Don't Own Me.

Explosions, gunshots and another rainbow coloured screen soon take over, with the The Sweet's 1973 hit Ballroom Blitz accompanying the action. There are car chases, slow motion shots and the obligatory pyrotechnics.

Then Jared Leto's stunning incarnation of The Joker makes an appearance. No one thought it was possible to top Heath Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight. Leto might just do that. As sinister and brutal as he is quirky and flamboyant, he seems to have captured just the right amount of crazy to portray the iconic character.

Superman gets a small namecheck in the trailer, but given the commercial flop that Batman Vs Superman has turned out to be, don't expect his presence to go much beyond that one sentence.
